  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble when cool enough to handle.
  • While the bacon is cooking, whisk flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl.
  • Whisk milk, oil, yogurt, and eggs together in another bowl. Add to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined.
  • Heat a griddle over medium heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the hot griddle to form 4-inch rounds; sprinkle about 1 tablespoon Cheddar and 1 tablespoon crumbled bacon onto each pancake. Cook until golden, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat to make remaining pancakes.
  • Serve with remaining Cheddar and syrup.
